Young people or "kids" are actually pretty decent at the game and they learn quickly because they want to get better. Kids don't just play to relax. They play to compete with their friends, they have motivation to improve. They care to get better.
To give you a more relatable example, I think all of us have seen a lot more skilled players below the age of 15 than above the age of 45, right? Not just in this game but generally.
My own little brother far surpassed me in WoT by the time he was 13. Granted he played the PS4 version but stats wise he's 3500 overall WN8 on his first and only account and I taught him nothing about how to play.

The people who are truly bad at this game are those who play it for a bit to relax after a long day at work. The people who care neither about any "objective" or about their results in the game.
The middle-aged working people, those are your worst players in the game. In any game.
People with jobs and families who will spend no time outside of the game trying to get better or ask questions. Why would they? They don't have any reason to care.

Those are also the people who fire more gold than anybody else because why not? They can afford it and they don't really know much of any other way.

So when people use "kids" as an insult meaning lack of skill I can only shake my head at them. You're targeting the wrong group. 
I guess "working man" doesn't have quite the same insulting tone to it though.

---------------------------------------------------

On the topic, frontline is a lot more fun VERY early in the mornings. I played as soon as it opened both yesterday and today. The first 3 hours of both days have been by far the best.
In fact in about 5 frontline battles this morning I've been hit by a TOTAL of 3 premium shells. Everything else has been standard ammo. Even when I played the VK 100.01P.
As soon as the "normal" people wake up that changes and it becomes pure gold ammo regardless of the tank you're in. 

I would assume this again has to do with goals and objectives. People who care enough to wake up early and play a game know what they're after and in frontline that is credits, so they will fire only standard ammo to maximize their gains.
Later in the day the "I don't know what frontline is haha" people join. People who don't know anything about the mode and just play it like they do randoms, aka spam gold.

It's also a fact as far as I've been able to tell from a short use of XVM last month that those playing late at night and early in the mornings are far better stats wise. The average WN8 of a team in tier X at 2-3 am is at least 400 higher than during prime time.
Again, it's probably not "kids" that are excluded from the matchmaking, I know I sneakily sat up playing games at night quite frequently when I belonged to that category.
If you have a job to go to in the morning though... you'll be asleep at night.

Conveniently WG will add these bundles only after everyone has already wasted countless hours in the mode, buying premium tanks and premium time They will claim they are doing it as a reaction to the high demand and requests of players to have at least a chance to buy the tank if they are unable to nolife grind it. Meanwhile WG already knows they will do this and they already know it because they planned it this way from the very beginning
